| no partners | | Got the trailhead at 7:15 to find Andy's truck. I was hoping to run into him but no luck. Sounds like he and Jason had a short hike planned that ended up even shorter.
I did a counterclockwise loop heading out on the easternmost Willow Springs Trail and coming back on one of the middle ones. My hiking speed was half of what it was yesterday. The scenery in the Goldfields is phenomenal, but the trails are rocky and have several steep sections.
Saw a desert tortoise early on and then a rattler about midway. I heard the rattle as I walked by it, but it wasn't very loud, kind of stilted. It was hidden pretty well in the grass.
Weather was pretty warm to start due to my late start, but didn't get too bad. Saw one other hiker way ahead of me on the last mile, but it wasn't Andy or Jason. Very nice to hike in the Goldfields, even with the brutal trails. |
